     curl_escape - URL encodes the given string


</PRE>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
     <B>#include</B> <B>&lt;curl/curl.h&gt;</B>

     <B>char</B> <B>*curl_escape(</B> <B>char</B> <B>*</B><I>url</I><B>,</B> <B>int</B> <I>length</I> <B>);</B>


</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
     This  function will convert the given input string to an URL
     encoded string and return that as a  new  allocated  string.
     All  input  characters  that are not a-z, A-Z or 0-9 will be
     converted to their "URL escaped" version (%NN where NN is  a
     two-digit hexadecimal number).

     If the 'length' argument is set to 0, curl_escape() will use
     strlen() on the input 'url' string to find out the size.

     You must free() the returned string when  you're  done  with
     it.


</PRE>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
     A  pointer to a zero terminated string or NULL if it failed.
